"This was the first introduction to the land of Oz for me. For years I had heard references to Dorothy from Kansas and the Land of Oz in movies, but I had never ever read the books. The country of Oz divided into colors, the colorful characters, the Tin Man, Woozy, Scarecrow... the vibrant manner in which Baum describes everything is endearing. I don't know if you deem this book as a children's novel, but I found it quite delightful to read. If you wish to get lost into a book, try this one. You will be quite surprised at yourself when u finally emerge into reality."

    " My favorite Oz book without Billina. I'm so glad that I met our 'Dear Friends' Ojo and Scraps! The other characters are nice, but Scraps is just great! The whole story is action filled and not at all dragging like the last few books. The land of OZ seemed almost mysterious again -- yey! "

    " Here's where I learned to love the world found in books. I was a wee lad and I'd found my love. Now I'm much much older and I read them all again. Never mind the looks I got. In all the time that's passed I am still charmed. I also know a lot more about Baum. These tales are light and deep at the same time. Baum wrote these stories to talk about the nature of reality. He was a mystic. "

    " this is the seventh book l. frank baum wrote in the oz chronicles and is a type of reset from the first. the sixth book finds ozma closing the borders of oz and it seems that there will be no more stories, however, baum decided to come back to the world the had so endeared itself to children everywhere. this one brings in the characters of ojo, a munchkin boy, scraps, a patchwork girl, and bungle, a glass cat. they find themselves traveling oz in order to save ojo's uncle from petrification. another great entry and reset of the series by baum!

    " I listened to The Patchwork Girl of Oz as an audio book. The story was very creative with many odd and unique characters. Although named for the patchwork girl, it is really about a munchkin boy who must go on a quest to find items for a magic potion to restore his uncle who was accidentally turned to marble. The Patchwork Girl goes along to help since she inadvertantly caused the uncle's accident. She is funny and says the weirdest things. It was enjoyable yet it had a very "pat" ending. The munchkin boy's "hero moment" falls short to me. "
